How long does it take for location, service, or availability changes to appear on Google?
Location and service changes made in Coconut are refreshed in Google daily. Links can take 24-48 hours to updated.
Why are services ordered differently in Google compared to Coconut?
Google does not currently offer the ability to reorder services. Categories of services are passed to Google for better organization of long lists of services.
Why isn’t a Book Online button displaying for my location in Google?
Google attempts to match a location’s address data to Google Maps data to find a location. If an error occurs, the Book Online button will not display for the location.
